(Life)

Life is hard enough as it is

Without you being a troglydite

Wallowing in your own ignorance

Adding to the chaos and strife

There are bigger problems in the world

People sick and dying, children too

Starvation, war, and lack of aid

And you choose to just talk and spew

I have no patience for your nonsense

No time to entertain your lies

I won't waste my energy on you

As I see through your shallow disguise

The next time you speak ill of someone

Don't expect anyone to listen

They won't believe your toxic words

Or feel sorry for you in any instance

I have no room for such negativity

Not in this already difficult life

I won't let you bring me down

Or add to the endless ongoing strife

So save your breath and hold your tongue

For I won't gladly suffer fools

Life is hard enough as it is

And I have no time for toxic rules

Let's focus on what truly matters

And lend a helping hand where we can

For there is so much pain and suffering

That needs our attention and plans

So don't waste your days in bitterness

Or spreading hatred and lies

Life is hard enough as it is

Let's choose to be kind and wise

And as it goes.....one day hopefully there is a catharsis 

That will eventually lead to a change

The kind that will enlighten many to not make

the same mistakes

You allow change to come over you 

And eventually one day you'll be changed

As life goes it continues without us

There is no store-bought remedy for what

ails most. But now there is a legacy that we all have that we cultivate before we become a ghost.
